All our Getting around guides for Vietnam, in one place.
The Ha Giang Loop honestly: ride it yourself or take an easy rider, how many days it really needs, the licence and insurance question nobody wants to answer, and when the mountain weather makes it miserable.
How to travel the length of Vietnam: when to fly instead of taking the sleeper bus, what the trains are really like, how the bus classes differ, and the motorbike question answered honestly.
Riding the Hai Van Pass: ride yourself or take an easy rider, how the luggage transfer works, what the road is actually like, and the insurance clause that decides whether you should do it at all.
Vietnam's trains explained: the four classes, which berth to book, the coastal stretch that beats every other journey in the country, and when the train genuinely beats flying.
